The new Fire and Fury book has set Washington ablaze in palace intrigue, culminating in the ouster of Steve Bannon from President Trump's good graces. But more important than the personality politics are the principles involved, and the policy outcomes from a president who is beholden to no one special interest or ideology. Will it result in a wave election of principled candidates who are free to advance the principles of liberty? DailyWire founder Ben Shapiro and Republican senate candidate Austin Petersen have been hinting of a new style of libertarian conservatism, which some have called "conservatarianism."

Liberals seem to be going out of their way to make Trump look as sympathetic as possible. It's as if they're working on his reelection campaign, generating negative publicity in an attempt to smear the POTUS, but only making him stronger.

At least Democrats know what Aleppo is, so it could be worse. Austin Petersen discusses the controversy.
